Facilitated by professionals from Abundant Edible Landscapes, Comet Farm, and of course Swallowtail Farm.

Children’s Garden
The kids can stay cool with a slip & slide, hayrides, bubbles and hula hoops.

Healing Arts
Sanctuary Yoga presents a demonstration in the art of movement. Also enjoy chair massages and henna art by local healers and practitioners.
